River Ecstasy

Long ago I bathed in your waters.
I let my body open to your touch.
Spread my legs wide to the currents
And felt you flow inside of me.
Such is the feeling of ecstasy.

I touched smooth stones with my fingers,
Gripped them.
Desiring to know their edges
As I know yours.

I cupped my hands.
Brought your taste to my lips.
Held you on my tongue so as not to spill,
Not one drop of all that you are.

I swallowed you whole.
Currents, rapids and whitewater.
Traveling deep into my cavernous canyons,
Roaring with the excitement.

I shuddered with the thrill of it all,
How you filled me up.
I began to overflow.
Pouring out like lovers do,
Onto snowy blankets of hillsides
And a bed of earth so long been dry it cannot hold.

It all came;
Tumbling, fumbling towards ecstasy.
All twisted up in the waves that wash
Away and into, away and into.
Waves that crash deep into me.
Crash into me,
Again, again and again.
